Performing Place at Ancient Idalion, Cyprus: an anthropological perspective on the Lower City South sanctuary architecture Rebecca M. Bartusewich PhD Student University of Massachusetts Amherst1 Abstract: The ancient site of the Lower City South sanctuary of Idalion is a site of place making and identity formation during the 1st millennium BCE of Cyprus. This archaeological site represents repetitive building patterns and persistent cultic activity that denote a cultural tradition that withstood the changes of administrative control in the Cypro-Classical and Hellenistic periods. Certain architectural elements, like altars and water features, are characteristic of a continued tradition at the ancient site and they are evidence of a recursive building practice that falls into templates of place making and identity formation as introduced by Bourdieu and Giddens.

This critique is still relevant. Implicit within it is the promise of a more geographical Localization geopolitics that, arguably, has not been realized by research. Using Bosnia–Herzegovina as an example, Fieldwork this paper examines the challenges of developing a critical geopolitics grounded in the study of contested Bosnia–Herzegovina geopolitical regions and places. Reviewing anthropological and other place-sensitive studies of violent population displacement and post-war returns in Bosnia–Herzegovina, the paper considers some conceptual dilemmas and questions raised by attempting to create a grounded critical geopolitics.

    V v v JiotipMfcAt Number 11 July 1966 Volume 4 THE CASES 0? THE "DIRTY DOZEN" - Harold Wasserman - In the field of philately, even after many years, there are many problems which have defied solution. Many experts have tackled these Items, but complete answers are still lacking. The field of sports collecting is certainly no different. After all, isn't every sports stamp still a stamp from a country? Isn't a philatelic problem to a collec­ tor of, say, Austria a matter of concern to sports collectors if the stamps involved are the First and Second Ski sets? Now, If these problems involve sports stamps, shouldn't we, as sports philatelists, make a determined effort to help in their solution? There are a number of unresolved questions dealing with sport stamps. I have select­ ed twelve of these, which I call the "Dirty Dozen". I would like to present one of these to you to see if among us we cannot come up with an answer. Case 1: The Case of the Disappearing Cancellations In 1946 Albania Issued a set of seven stamps in connection with the Balkan Games held in Tirana, October 6-13, 1946. (Incidentally, "Landmans" and Seebacher label it the Tenth Games whereas "Schmidt-Schneider" call it the Twelfth.) Supposedly 50,000 sets were is­ sued. Certainly I have found no information to contradict this number. Mint sets are by no means plentiful, but they can be found. The current catalog price of §15.75 ($2.25 Per stamp right down the line) is misleading. Dealers who are up on the market charge from $15.00 to $20.00 per set, when they have them.
